I installed Prometheus by

```auto
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
helm install kube-prometheus-stack prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack

```

Then installed Elasticsearch by

```auto
kubectl create -f https://download.elastic.co/downloads/eck/2.12.1/crds.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://download.elastic.co/downloads/eck/2.12.1/operator.yaml

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
  name: quickstart
spec:
  version: 8.13.4
  nodeSets:
  - name: default
    count: 1
    config:
      node.store.allow_mmap: false
EOF

```

I tried to install prometheus elasticsearch operator by

```auto
helm install prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter prometheus-community/prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter \
  --set "es.uri=https://quickstart-es-http.default.svc:9200/"

```

```auto
helm upgrade prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter prometheus-community/prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter \
  --set "es.uri=https://quickstart-es-http.default.svc:9200/" \
  --set "es.ca=./ca.pem" \
  --set "es.client-cert=./client-cert.pem" \
  --set "es.client-key=./client-key.pem"

```

```auto
helm upgrade prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter prometheus-community/prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter \
  --set "es.uri=https://quickstart-es-http.default.svc:9200/" \
  --set "es.ssl-skip-verify=true"

```

The logs in `prometheus-elasticsearch-operator` pod always

```auto
